#4 Miss: Manish Pandey

Manish Pandey has had an indifferent IPL so far. He’s largely struggled to get going especially at the death.

He has got starts but most have been run-a-ball or a little over run-a-ball and in most games he has looked quite scratchy. However, in the last game, he showed positive sign of returning to form as he scored a very good 38-ball 62.

But again in this game, he looked iffy in his 22-ball 25. He came into bat at the fall of Kane Williamson’s wicket (in the 13th over).

Pandey did score a couple of boundaries but couldn’t quite time the ball as well as he would’ve liked. He was once guilty of trying to be a little cheeky going for those ramp shots and cheeky paddles which didn’t quite help.

Thus, he scratched his way to 25 before he got out in the last over trying to hoick one over deep mid-wicket.
